Fees

How Were the Fees Calculated?

The participation fees for the offer were calculated to allow the Press to replace revenues currently generated by the sale of digital scholarly monographs and edited collections to libraries. However, this revenue level won't completely cover the Press's publishing costs.

Scenarios to reach the revenue target were modeled by combining:

  1. Various assumptions about provisional fee levels for each subject collection
  2. The number of institutions anticipated to commit to support each collection

To determine fees that allow the offer to reach the revenue target, the Press:

  • Assessed the total universe of academic institutions—by type, size, and region
  • Estimated the percentage of institutions expected to commit to each collection
  • Indexed the fee tiers based on median acquisitions budgets
  • Set provisional fee levels to achieve the revenue target
